Hosts Global announced its expansion into the Lone Star State with the opening of Hosts Texas, a full-service Destination Management Company (DMC) dedicated to producing group programs in Austin and San Antonio. The opening of the Austin and San Antonio locations comes on the heels of recent DMC departures from these fast-growing markets.

This year, the theme of the St. Patrick's Day Festival was Storytellers which couldn't be better suited. A nation of storytellers, Moloney & Kelly list some of their favourites and how they can be incorporated into your incentive program in Ireland as well as some updates!

Taking leaps and bounds to cement its position as a ‘must attend’ annual event in the diary of incentive planners and travel designers alike, DMS Connect efficaciously was held in Auckland, Sydney and Melbourne late February.

TESTIMONIALS

Marissa and the DMS team truly lead the way because they invest time in understanding client needs; they are innovative and get things done. They do a great job at partnering both with clients and our international offices to always deliver more creative solutions, faster responses and global reach.

Herve Joseph-Antoine, Chairman, Pacific World

DMS provides a quality and professional service whilst connecting us with DMCs that are industry leaders in their field. Knowing that we do have a team that we can trust and lean on for support is absolutely priceless.

Samantha Dick, Operations Leader, cievents – New Zealand

Thank you all for your wonderful enthusiasm, support, general hospitality and planning last week (5 – 10 March 2017). The high attendance levels and calibre of companies attending is testimony to the great respect the clients have for DMS and the positioning of DMS Connect in their annual calendar. I could not have been more pleased with the standard of my meetings and only regret that there’s not enough time to get to know or meet with more of the attendees.
I think DMS Connect is the perfect combination of working and playing hard which is everything I love about this business and I have enjoyed your company enormously these last few days – thank you again! Here’s to the next 25 years!

Frances Wyatt, Director of Sales & Marketing, Spectra

DMS has always been a strong partner of Corporate Blue as they work so well in promoting their DMCs. When we book a DMC through DMS we always know we are working with a quality partner. The team goes above and beyond the call of duty in every professional sense and it is because of this that our success must be jointly shared with DMS. Thank you to the DMS team for all your hard work.

Terence Harris, Former General Manager, Corporate Blue – Australia

DMS are a great team with best of breed DMCs in their stable - very professional and a pleasure to work with.

Tony Regan, Chief Executive Officer, Parnell Partners

Global Events have worked with Marissa and the team at DMS for many years and we always find their level of professionalism and ability to understand all of our requirements, outstanding.
DMS provide a fantastic portfolio of DMCs, who offer a huge range of product stretching across the globe. Marissa and the team remain on hand and continue to support The Appointment Group throughout the pre-planning and are always on hand to assist, doing so in an extremely efficient manner. I wouldn’t think twice about recommending the services of DMS.
